Well, my solution was of course a syntax that is just passed on the XSLT and
isn't really a taglib at all. That let you iterate IN XSP to build repetitive
forms like this. Once you build the basic XSLT for handling it you only need
a small amount extra to insert the HTML that styles your form.
Of course if you look at Perform its really TWO syntaxes, the XSP one and the
XML one that the XSP generates, and you can generate that 2nd syntax yourself
with any old XSP or Perl you want, so the functionality IS there to a certain
extent.
